After a week with no internet the first thing I did was catch up on the Reef. Looks like I missed some great discussions. It's always a thrill to be mentioned in the WiR from last Sunday. I hope Thriller Fest was the best ever.

More so I hope QOTKU feels better. A good chiropracter can do wonders.

Rummages around and pulls out some decongestant, Imitrex, and naproxen.

Shuffles into unfamiliar kitchen and swipes table napkins from table.

Opens freezer.

Drat. No corn; no peas. Sighs and plunders drawers for Ziploc bags. Aha! Returns to freezer; entraps ice cubes; adds a bit of cold water; imprisons the lot with one quick swipe - and then repeats the measure with an outer bag to prevent leaks.

Retrieves soft earplugs from large bell jar labeled "Soft Earplugs Meant Only For The Queen; Noncompliance Will Result In Blacklisting, Exile to Carkoon's Tenth Ring, and SHUNNING FROM THE SHARKBITES' SHOALS!!! BEWARE!!!

Sinus rinse is gross but the only thing that made my sinus infection feel better a few years ago. Temporary relief but better than nothing. None of that over the counter stuff ever touched it. Feel better.
